` WILDE COMPANY, OF ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS NECKTIE HOLDER Applicationfiled` December 5, 1931. rSerial No. 579,170. K i 'i (alf This inventionrelates to 4neckt'ie holders 'and the primary object of the invention isto .provide a' holder which is `firmly and posi! tively held in positionagainst accidental the plane of the outer face of the jaw 1,

since the sides 7 are spaced outwardly from I v the sides 2 of the jaw 1it will be seen that Athe fabric will be pinched by the sides ofV@movement and to also provide means for the jaw 4 against the sides2 ofvthe vjaw f1 easily and quickly releasing the holder from :its operativeposition thereby to enable like removal of the holder from the necktieand `shirt. v

Still further the inventionvaims to provide La necktie holder which hasa movable jaw to- .gether with means for latching Vthe jaw in operativeposition and to further and more .specifically provide means which uponmove? -ment to unlatched position simultaneously effects Vmovements ofthe jaw away from the .shirt bosom, thereby to enable the device to be-easily and quickly removed, and likewise applied. i v v Still furtherthe invention aims to provide novel means for effectively clamping theholder against the shirtbosom and necktie.

'The invention has further and other objects which will be later setJforth' and manifested inthe course of thet following description.;

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a bottom plan view 4of the invention;

AFigure 2 is a 'side elevation and Figure 3 and Figure 4 are sections onlines ,3Q-3 fand 4 4 of Figure 1.A

In proceeding in accordance with the pres? ent invention, a relativelystationary/gan' 1 isprovided which is formedV of a piece of wire whichis doubled upon litself to provide sp'acedpara'llel sides 2, the ends ofthe wire .being curved inwardly and coiled to provide eyes 3,*'so thatthe jaw is of substantially J-shape in side elevation as shown in.Figure 2. .SAS herein shown the wire is preferably of lvthe flat type,although round or other shaped types can be employed as desired;

The movable jaw 4 is also formed of wire which' is doubled upon itselfto form a loop having a'straight end upon which a roller 6 is journaledfor free rotation, the roller preferably havinga corrugated'or roughenedVperiphery so as to more rmly grip the fabric. The sides 7 of the loopare curved downwardly so as to be disposed in substantially support thelever. In operation with the part-sin the position Vis swung to thedotted line position. of Fig- Vand will thus be more freely held inposition'. Theend portions of the lwire of which the jaw 4 is formed arebrought into abutting engagement with each other and are preferablywelded together to form an inclined arm 8 which latter is turnedupwardly and arm 8 and has a curved finger 12 secured to its inner end.For the purpose of latching the jaw 4 in operative position, alever 13is provided which is of substantially Ssshape and has one end 14 formedto provide a finger grip while its opposite end is bifurcated` and' hasa roller 15 journaled between the furcations.V The lever 13 is'formedwith oppositely disposedpintles 16 which latter Aare received inthe eyesor knuckles 3 whereby to pivotally 4of 'Figure 2 it will.V be seenthatdue to the resilient nature of the materialv of which Vthe jaw 7 isformed, the roller v15 upon swinging lof lever 13 engages against thearm`8 and depresses and holds the jaw 4 in its-clamped position. Torelease the jaw"4 the lever 13 ure 2 wherein it will -be noted'thatthe-roller 15 riding upwardly on the slightly inclined arm 8 engaged thecurved linger 12 and upon continued movement of the lever`18, `thevroller lthrough the finger 12, causes the l i jaw 4 toV be swung aboutits pivotklO away from the shirt bosom to the limit of its move'-V mentindicated in dotted lines, thereby enabling the holder to beeasilyandquickly removed and likewise applied in position. l w 95 Itwill thusbe seen thatfthe necktie Yand shirt bosom are iirmlygrippedand thenecktie heldV against i accidentalnnovement, and

at the same time theholder against accidental movement.

s likewise heidf fs Y Having thus described my inventionwhat I claimas'new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is :V I Y l. A neclrtieholder including a substan- .tially Jshaped jaw having spaced sides, a

substantially O-shapcd j aw havinga roller at its outer end and ankangular arm at its inner end, means to pivotally connectjthe arm to theinner end of the "l-shaped jaw, a sleeveon the arm havinga curvedfinger, and

a substantially S-shaped cam lever pivotedl to the, inner end of theJ-shaped jaw and having one end formed to ride on the arm to clamp thesame in position and upon release to engage the curved finger so as toraise the pivoted jaw away from the .other jaw.

2. A neclrtie holder including a substantially J-shap'ed jaw havingspaced sides, a

substantially Gshapedv jaw having a Vroller at its outer end and anangular arm at its Vinner end, means to pivotaliy connect the arm tothe'inner endof the d-shaped jaw,'aV cam lever pivoted to theV inner endof the d-shaped Jaw and having a part to engage the arm to move sameinto clamping position and means carried bythe arm' forengagement,withsaid part of the clamping lever whereby vto move AthevO-,shaped gaw away from the other ga-w following releaserof'theclamping action of Vthe cam lever.V

3. A neclrtie-holder having a ,substantiallyv J-shaped jaw, a movable jaw pivoted to the free end portion of the short arm-of the J-shaped jaw,and a cam lever carried by said free end portion of the short armof themove the latter toholding position.

5.In a neclrtie holder, a substantiallyA V.l-shapedrjaw,having spacedsides, a second Jaw having an angular end Ypivoted 1n the space betweenthe inner end portions of the sidesof the first jaw, a cam lever alsopivoted in the space between the inner ends ofthe sides of the first jawand having a part to to move the latterto holding position.,`

engage the angular portion of the Vsecond jaw 6. In ya necltie holder, aAsubstantially J-shaped jaw having spaced sides, a second jaw having anangular end pivot-ed in the spacevbetween the linner end portions of thesidesof'the first i aw, a cani lever also pivoted in the spacebetweentheinner' ends ofl the sides of the first jaw, and havinga partk toVengage the angular portieri` of the second gaw to move the latter toVholding position, and

means carried by the second ,jaw to engager said part of the cam leverupon release ofthe latterwhereby to move the second jaw away from thefirst jaw.

V7. In a necktie holder, a substantially4 lV-shaped jaw having spacedsides, va second jaw V having an angular end pivoted'in the spacebetween the inner end portions of the sides of the first jaw, a camVlever also pivoted in the space between the inner ends of the sides ofthe first jaw, having a partto engage the angular portion of the secondjaw to move `the latter to holding position, and a curved finger carriedby the second jaw to engage said part of the cam lever upon release ofthe latter so as to move the second jaw away `from the first, aw.
